I need some help on a project again... This time, it's my senior project, which is a huge deal! It is a huge research project and I have chose my topic to be Aquaculture. I chose this because I know how beneficial it can be for our fisheries if we used it for more species. Now, the question! Do any of y'all know anyone maybe from TPWD, TAMUCC, or even CCA that has any sort of credibility that may be willing to do an interview either over phone, video conference or email? I would say a PM would be okay but I have to have documented citations. Thank you all so much, not only for the help on this, but for the halp that yall have ever given me either with fishing topics or school related questions! It sure does help and it also means a lot! Any fingers pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

i cant be much help but i can tell you that as a consumer i dont buy any seafood that is farm raised. it the same as putting them in a large toilet and letting them eat their poop. and i dont trust the fertilizers or the the possibility of antibiotics they might give them. sorry . would be like eating your pet goldfish

PM Me if you still need more info. My best friend runs a fish farm on the Delmarva peninsula (East tip of land by the chesapeak bay). He raises spot for bait shops and tautog for restaruants. I can get you his number. He was a teacher at UNC Wilmington for several years as well. When he was there he raised flounder at the university.

Another good person to contact is Dr. David McKee at TAMU-CC. I had him as a professor in a mariculture class back in the late 90's and he is an excellent teacher as well as a genuinely nice person.
You can find him in the online phonebook:
